quiz Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best self-hosted monitoring tool? expand_more
Grafana is the most popular open-source option for dashboards and alerting, and it connects to 150+ data sources. Pair it with Prometheus for metric collection and Loki for logs to cover a full monitoring stack.
Does self-hosted monitoring save money vs SaaS? expand_more
Usually yes at scale. SaaS monitoring bills per host, per metric and per user, which grows fast; a self-hosted stack on a VPS is a flat cost no matter how many hosts or metrics you track.
Do I need Prometheus as well as Grafana? expand_more
Grafana visualizes and alerts but does not store metrics. If you already have a data source such as a cloud metrics API or a database, Grafana can read it directly; otherwise run Prometheus alongside to collect the metrics.
How much server do I need for monitoring? expand_more
Grafana runs comfortably on 1 GB of RAM and a small VPS. Add resources for any data sources you also host, since collectors like Prometheus use more memory and storage as your data grows.
